A man accused of killing his mother and brother in their home in Stark County last year has turned himself in to the Stark County Sheriff's Office, authorities said.
Jacob Timothy Stockdale, 26, turned himself in to authorities on Thursday after a county grand jury issued a secret indictment against him.

Jacob is charged with two counts of murder and a firearm specification in connection to the killings of his mother and brother, according to the sheriff's office.
